Motorola Moto X Last Updated: Jun 18th,2013

Finally made official via press release, the device formerly known as the "X Phone" is now formally the Motorola Moto X. The Moto X is a 4.7-inch 720p handset that utilizes Motorola's X8 processing engine. The processor is a highly optimized version of the Snapdragon S4 Pro, with two cores delegated to application processoing, one core for natural voice processing, and a 4th core for other contextual needs.

Other specs for the Moto X include 2GB of RAM, a 10 megapixel RGBC camera, a front-facing camera, WiFi, Bluetooth 4.0, GPS, and more. The Moto X's big claim to fame is its ability to be customized with many different color combinations, engravings, bootup messages and more using Motorola's Moto Maker website (availablity subject to carrier).

Apple has finally officially introduced the iPhone 5C, a colorful affair for sure. We’re wondering how it stacks up to another color-focused option — the Moto X — so we’ve pit two of the newest headphones up against each other in this heated head-to-head matchup!

The Moto X is available starting today on AT&T. If you were wondering if the X would make the right fit for you, you’re going to want to check out our Moto X review where we cover all the ins-and-outs on Motorola (and Google’s) latest handset.

Motorola knows your pain and it’s the reason Motorola’s Senior Director of Software Product Management David Schuster took to Google+ to update us on the status of the Moto X 1st Gen and its planned update to Lollipop.

Around the Phandroid offices, we like to refer to Android 5.1 as the real Lollipop update, patching up bugs and improving UI weirdness. For some Motorola customers, the update is just around the corner.

Motorola has been testing Android 5.0 for their 2013/early 2014 phones for a bit now, but there’s a reason they haven’t given the green light for a rollout: they’re planning to leapfrog it and take those devices straight to Android 5.1 Lollipop.

Motorola may have taken last year’s Moto X down form their site to promote the all new 2014 version, but that doesn’t mean you can’t buy one. A great deal has hit eBay for a developer edition of 2013’s model — $230 with free shipping.

The Motorola Spotlight Player app has been updated to bring the team’s latest creation to Moto X users, named Duet. The latest story features hand-drawn animations from Disney animation legend Glen Keane.

Verizon told us their version of the Moto X was going on sale today, but in case you weren’t around to hear the news here it is: you can buy it right now! The device begins at $99.99 with a two-year contract.
